A Word of Thanks
First of all, Thank you so much for your readership and comments on VernonMilesKerr.com. I will keep posting my own work, right here, but I have just created a new site which focuses exclusively on the art of writing in English.
The name of this new site is Writers Class the link is https:/writersclass.net.
Here is the intro to that site:
Day One, Writers Class
The world is filled with wanna-be writers, or so it seems. Don’t all those library shelves, overflowing with books, seem intimidating? There’s a lot of competition out there. Trust me, as a largely un-published writer, I too, get discouraged. But if I were in it for the money I think I would have given up long ago. It’s the love of writing in the English Language and the magic of rhetoric and story-telling that keep me going. There were several things that motivated me to create this new blog, which will be solely devoted to the Art of Writing:
Collaborating with anyone who considers themselves a writer.
Sharing editing suggestions for any writer, amateur or professional
Sharing articles and advice from the thousands of good writing publications out there
Developing in my readers the same love and appreciation I feel for the English language and for its rich heritage of literary and _a_rtistic excellence
Developing a following of vocal critics of bad writing and sloppy editing, holding the publishing industry’s feet-to-the-fire to stop the trend of economizing on editors and editor salaries, as if there were no moral reason for striving for journalistic and literary excellence. There is a moral reason: it is the requirement to show gratitude for our gift of English, the world’s greatest, richest, most welcoming and most non-chauvanistic tool of expression — ever.
Please go check it out :) As always comments and “follows” are humbly appreciated.
